    Pretty recent, Greece, Balkans. To brew Greek/Turkish/Serbian/Bulgarian/Macedonian/etc coffee.
    Sorry about all the nationalities, they're all pretty sensitive about this, and my apologies to the ones I left out.:sorry:

    It's called an ibrik - slightly unusual to have a straight handle.

    Agree, ibrik is used in English. It is a Turkish word meaning ewer or kettle.
    In Turkey the word ibrik is used for any kind of ewer/pitcher, but a coffee pot is generally called a cezve.
    Greeks use the word briki (related to ibrik), they can get upset if you use a Turkish word. So can people in the Slavic Balkans, who use several derivatives of the word cezve.

    Nice site on how Europeans take their coffee:):
